About

I'm on a mission to MAXIMIZE YOU through self-love, gratitude, and personal empowerment.

Alka life transition coach and owner of GLADSherpa

Life transitions can be overwhelming. I've been there – several times.

I've faced health crises, toxic relationships, uncoupling, and the challenges of single parenthood.

 

These experiences taught me a powerful lesson:

​

With the right mindset and tools, we can not only survive life's transitions but thrive through them.

 

Now, I dedicate my life to helping others navigate their own transitions with confidence and purpose.

Therapy wasn’t serving me as well as I needed it to.

My path to becoming a life transition coach wasn't straightforward. It was forged through personal challenges and triumphs:

​

  • I developed chronic migraines that gradually derailed my career from my PhD in clinical nutrition.

  • I had to cut ties with certain toxic relationships and go through a difficult uncoupling while raising a young child.

  • I had to reinvent myself, both personally and professionally.


These obstacles became my greatest teachers. They led me to immerse myself in personal development and embrace my spirituality.

​​

As I transformed my life being alone, moving from loneliness to solitude, from scarcity to abundance, people were drawn to the change they saw in me. They wanted to know how I did it.

 

That's when I realized: if I could do it, anyone could - with the right guidance the journey would be even more beautiful and powerful.

Today, I specialize in guiding people through major life transitions.

I coach people who are dealing with health changes, career shifts, relationship difficulties, divorce, the impact of aging, and other difficult chapters of life.

​

My approach, which is both holistic and spiritual, is rooted in both professional training and personal experience:

​

1. Reframing Experiences: Together, we'll turn your challenges into strategic insights for growth, developing new resources that can be used even in other areas of life.

​

2. Building Resilience: I'll help you develop inner strength to face any transition with confidence and awareness around your new resources.

​

3. Crafting a New Identity: We'll work on redefining yourself, stepping into a powerful new phase of life remodeling older parts in a Kintsugi style, patched together with love.

I don't just talk about these principles - I've lived them.

I am a Kenyan-born Indian and have been living in Norway for over 40 years. My multicultural background gives me a unique perspective on adapting to change. I understand firsthand the impact of cultural shifts and how to navigate diverse life experiences.

 

But more importantly, I've walked the path of transformation myself. I've moved from being disabled by chronic pain to helping others transform their lives. I've transitioned from marriage to uncoupling while creating a harmonious relationship between all parties.

  • A powerful, resilient mindset in uplifting ways

  • Insight and resources for many of your new life phases ahead

  • Improved performance in your personal and professional life

  • Enhanced well-being and stronger relationships

​

I'm here to guide you toward a smoother, more empowering transition.

Alka is not just a skillful coach with effective tools, but she is a master of asking the right questions that can lead you to the place where you can find the answers you need. ​

I had a series of 5 coaching sessions with her. I wanted to improve my health and vitality. By the end of the 5 sessions, I had obvious results and absolute clarity on how to sustain the state I wanted.
